De Gruyter

Submitting an article

... is done electronically by emailing both a PDF file and the source files (LaTeX) to the
Editorial Office at dma@mi.ras.ru.

Contributions submitted to this journal must be written in Russian or English language. Only
unpublished material can be accepted, and authors may not republish their paper in the
same or similar form. The decision on the acceptance is taken after a peer-reviewing
procedure. The journal makes no page charges.

The authors can provide the names and e-mail addresses of up to four potential reviewers.

Each article

... must begin with an abstract of less than 150 words. The abstract must be followed by an
appropriate classification according to MSC 2010 (Mathematics Subject Classification) and
a list of 3 to 6 keywords. The short title for the running head should contain at most 80
characters, spaces inclusive.

Authors are asked to follow a few basic guidelines while formatting their paper for
publication, in order for the journal to be as homogeneous in appearance as possible. Please
download the LaTeX class file and the respective sample file including the instructions for
formatting here.

BASIC INSTALLATION
====================

The minimum requirement to use the package is to have dgruyter.sty and

dgruyter.ist/dgruyter.xdy (as well as the logo and vignette files) in a directory where TeX
can find it.

To get the package style file 'dgruyter.sty' and the index style files 'dgruyter.ist' and
'dgruyter.xdy' execute: latex dgruyter.ins

To get the documentation 'dgruyter.pdf' execute: pdflatex dgruyter.dtx (at least twice)

The affiliation, postal and electronic addresses of all authors should be included.

Figures must be of sufficiently high resolution (minimum 600 dpi). Lettering of all figures
within the article should be uniform in style (preferably a sans serif typeface like Helvetica)
and of sufficient size (ca. 8 pt.). Uppercase letters A, B, C, etc. should be used to identify
parts of multi-part figures. Cite all figures in the text in numerical order. Indicate the
approximate placement of each figure. Do not embed figures within the text body of the

1
manuscript; submit figures in separate files. In a TEX document EPS files may be
incorporated into the TEX file by using one of the standard macro packages.
Provide a short descriptive title and a legend to make each figure self-explanatory. Explain
all symbols used in the figures. Remember to use the same abbreviations as in the text body.

Authors are encouraged to submit illustrations in color if necessary for their scientific
content. Publication of color figures is provided free of charge both in online and print
editions.

References should be collected at the end of the paper, numbered with Arabic numerals in
alphabetical order of the authors' names and surrounded by square brackets. Please use
abbreviations for titles of journals in accordance with those listed in Mathematical Reviews.
